Springfield XDM: Review and Update by Nutnfancy


The XDM improvements are a win. I would prefer the XDM over the XD if I'm buying one. While I don't consider the improvements revolutionary, they are meaningful and help perfect the design. In the XDM you will note: a more streamlined slide profile, "Mega Lock" grip traction, larger magazine capacities (19 rds 9mm, 16 rds .40 SW!), improved slide serrations, frame indentations, match grade barrel, shorter reset and lighter "USA" trigger, Melonite® rust proofing on the blackened slides, extended mag release (but still unobtrusive), outstanding sights (love them!), multi-slot accessory rail, and simplified non-firing fieldstrip. Also this XDM weighs in at an impressive 28.5 ounces; an accomplishment for a full size 19-round service pistol. These improvements make the XDM design even better and more shootable for many users. And yet the XDM remains a very high value gun, with lots of included accessories in the reasonable price and excellent durability (the included case is the best I've seen in any handgun rig and the inclusion of 3 mags is outstanding value). That is another reason it has garnered so many fans. For me comparisons against the Glock are still appropriate and each design has its highpoints and for many it will just boil down to personal preference. For small-handed shooters however, the XDM (and XD) might make a better choice with its small circumfrence grip (even with the 4th Gen Glocks). It's 1911 grip angle is indeed excellent and preferred by me. But I <b>...</b>

XDm 45


Showing and shooting the Springfield XDm .45. I won't be trading off my beloved Glock 21, but I see why people like this XDm in .45 ACP. Not bad at all, especially if I can get used to the trigger. By the way, I requested the gun to review; I get lots of requests to do a video with it.

Showing and shooting the new Springfield XDm 5.25. I just could not stop shooting this thing. I want to thank Springfield for this T&E gun, as well as Rob Corcoran at Academy of Self Protection in Joelton, Tn, for a virtually no-expense transfer. All this contributes to the cause! By they way, they have one of these at ASP in Joelton for rent if anybody wants to try it out. www.springfield-armory.com www.academyofselfprotection.com

XDm 5.25 (Three Calibers)


Shooting all three XDm 5.25 calibers, the 9mm, the .40, & the .45ACP. Thanks to Springfield for sending me the new .45 and .40 Competition models this week. I suppose it would make for a "slicker" video if we edited out my mistakes and such, but often it's a learning experience for all of us! With no script and 27 minutes, there will undoubtedly be a little reality slip in. :-) If you notice, I chose to shoot some Remington 147 grain 9mm today instead of the 115 grain 9mm I shot in previous videos. The contour of the Remington 9mm bullet is more blunt, similar to a .40 S&W bullet, which is very unusual. Almost all 9mm FMJ bullets have more of a point to them.

Springfield XDm 45 Review


XD(m) review. The gun holds 13+1 of the venerable 45ACP rounds. I found therecoil to be very light for a 45, and it was pretty darn accurate for the first time shooting it out of the box. I put 100 rounds of Remington 230gr JHP and 50 Federal 230gr Hydra-Shok through it with zero malfunctions. Intrestingly, it was much easier to load the magazines to capacity as compared with the XD(m) 40 - maybe that was because it holds 13 vs. 16 rounds. Information on the products shown in this video can be found at these websites: Springfield Armory: www.springfield-armory.com And any other XD(m) or XD related questions you may have can likely be answered at the XDTalk forum. They are a very friendly and extremely knowledgeable group of enthusiast on that site: www.xdtalk.com

XDM vs Glock Shootout! by Nutnfancy


Another fun shootout against two great pistol designs! Some simple scenarios were set up and ran using the expertise of two experienced shooters, Sterling from Impact Guns and newcomer to the Project Brian (an accomplished competitor in pistol, shotgun, and tactical carbine). Both shot very well even when the stress levels were slightly elevated. The XDm showed its accuracy potential but the Glock stayed right in there the whole time. Things were going great with both guns right up until the time the XDm failed to go into battery...twice (Type 1 failures)! It was shocking to us and it seemed that some BreakFree® lube on the rails and barrel solved the problem thereafter (but shouldn't it shoot dry?!). I really like being mostly the camera man in this video but of course I had step up and play too (it's fun too!) in the end. I shot the Glock better in this outing, running what I called the "hostage" drill or trying to achieve max accuracy in 15 yard "whistled" shooting. Both are excellent and have their fans and I do not attempt to give definitive data points on the XDm here...that would take me 1000s of rounds personally fired over the course of months (but that XD/XDm still seems to remain cursed in the Nutnfancy Project!). There are some other tests out there from which to draw those conclusions. It boils down to shooter preference and like I mention in the XDm Review and Update video

Springfield XDm 9mm 4.5" Pros and Cons


In this video I list my personal pros and cons for the Springfield XDm 9mm 4.5". Pros: Everything except a few things outlined in cons. Cons: -Striker Retainer Pin may break after dry firing. I say "may" because it broke for me but has not broken for a lot of my friends that have dry fired thousands of times. -Back strap safety pinches the webbing of your hand -Barrel and guide rod lose finish easily with use

A Survivalist Springfield Armory XDm 9mm 3.8 For When SHTF


This is my main every day carry (EDC) guns. I also carry the Keltec LCP as a backup. I use the small grip back strap and I am able to get a great grip on the gun. I can shoot the XD(m) better that I could shoot my old Glock 23c. I don't think the XDm 3.8 makes a huge difference in the ability to carry concealed as the barrel is the only thing that is smaller. I had to cut the factory holster paddle a little bit. It was jabbing me in the hip while sitting. I had to replace the factory magazine belt holster with a Fobus magazine paddle holster because I take the holster on and off during the day. The 5.11 covert casual shirts I wear would also hide the barrel of the larger xdm. I draw the xmd by grasping the bottom of the shirt and pulling back it breaks the snaps loose. The Springfield Armory XD(m) 9mm 3.8 has been a great carry concealed weapon (CCW) for me. More information is available at "The Survival Summary" survivalsummary.com

Blackhawk SERPA CQC Holster Mod for XDm 45


The Blackhawk Serpa CQC holster for the XD model does hold the XDm 45, but unfortunately not tight enough for my liking, and it makes some rattle and has some movement. I found a little info on a forum and just wanted to make a video for all the DIY people out there. A little sticky-backed felt from a velcro pack works perfect to take the movement and rattle out of the holster.

** WATCH IN HIGH QUALITY *** Made it down to the range tonight and shot a little video... I haven't been able to shoot much this summer, so I did a lot of warm-up drills shooting controlled pairs without movement. When you're feeling rusty, getting back to basics is about as good as it gets... I really feel like the reps made a difference, and I can't wait to get back out there and step it up a notch.

Springfield XDM 40 - Using the speed loader.


The Springfield Armory XDm Kit comes with a little tool to help load ammo nto the magazines. It compresses the spring so you can easily add rounds to the magazine. The big help is that it saves your thumb from cramping up after repeated reloading of the magazine. I like it. It took me awhile to figure this out since I was born on a Turnip truck.

XDm 45 close up


A close-up of the Springfield XDm in 45 ACP I enjoyed shooting and reviewing this gun a great deal. The only negative for me is the trigger, and that might be largely due to my extra large hands. I wouldn't mind having another big .45 ACP in a modern polymer pistol; however, I'd need a trigger that breaks further forward in order to purchase it. That's about the only reason I did not purchase this gun. It's back in the hands of Springfield now I thank them for sharing it and I hope you enjoyed seeing it in the three videos.
